I have to say I am liking this a little more after twisting my VV down a good bit...very very smooth. Tasting a little bit more tribeca and a bit less of the eucalyptus.
Skeebo, Fret not, my friend.
My order said the same thing for several days, until it was scanned at my Local PO and delivered that day.
For some reason, the USPS isn't showing scans from Pompton or Kearny. So, you will suddenly get it.
I couldn't describe the flavor when i got it OOTB and vaped it the other day - until you mentioned listerine, that's the hint I'm getting as well...letting it steep with the cap off for a while.
despite the overly strong blend of flavors, i'm really surprised at how smooth this vape is.
it also clears the sinuses quite well, i found a penny that got stuck up thar in 1988!

I hope so Dave. It's been showing that way since Wednesday. I'm way down in Florida so I'm really not expecting it till Monday, at the latest Tuesday. I'll have to settle on vivid descriptions from the nice people in this thread and eat a mint in the mean time.

Okay, I vaped a few tank fulls and want to update my opinion a bit.
I have let Menthol X steep a few days and will give it quite a bit longer to breathe and settle. I feel like this one needs it with the "tobacco base" components, where as the other 4 menthols don't really change at all after a good steep.
The moth balls comparison (totally random, I know) has turned into sweet cotton candy. Exactly like the smell/taste of warm melted sugar. This flavor is very SWEET. Candy sweet. Cotton candy sweet.
I gave it a 7/10, which is a good score. It is extremely complex and original, unlike what you could throw together in a tank yourself. That's why I love Halo!
I might increase that to an 8/10. My only real beef is with the name/category, not the flavor. It's a misnomer. there's no frost. It should be called Tribeca X.
If this had twice the intriguing eucalyptus/peppermint than it does and was less sweet, it would be winner winner chicken dinner, for sure. The mixed mint tones are awesome! It's just unfortunate that they compose only ~20% of the flavor profile. With a name like Menthol X one might expect it to be at least half menthol.
Anyways... I hope my taste buds aren't too insane in the membrane. Please post your reviews when you get the chance to try Menthol X.

so far as a new user I had menthol ICE and sub zero. I opened up a used up ICE and dropped some of the menthol X into it and I must say.. its night and day compared to it. doesn't taste as vanilla/menthol as the other two for sure. kinda tastes like peppermint. cant decide if I like it or not.
Finally got around to trying it this morning. I don't think its for me. On inhale I get a nutty undertone, and on exhale I get the flavor of a Halls eucalyptus cough drop, but without any mint or menthol flavor at all. I'm a menthol vaper, so I was excited to try this, but I'm not getting the menthol at all. I don't usually vape anything with tobacco flavor, so maybe that's what I don't like about it. Oh well, it was free so I can't complain.
well amy shake it good, cap it up, and stick it in a deep dark place for a month, see how it is then.
Nah, I'm good, got lots of my usual stuff around. My Menthol X sample is headed to a new home in California, thanks to the swap thread
Got my Menthol-X sample last week, with my usual order of SubZero and Malibu ...
Vaped a tank in the Elips right away, my first thought was more tobacco taste than I am used to, but I really can't describe the other flavor levels. I did vape the whole tank, which must mean something ...
Not the same pleasure as my first tank of SubZero, when I knew I had found my all-day-vape ...
I think I gotta let this one steep a bit, most seem to agree that it improves with age ...

Woohoo, I got my order today! Btw, Halo's customer service is A+. My daughter swiped up my new 30 ml bottle of Prime 15 and says I can't have it till Father's Day. I got to keep the Menthol X and small bottle of Kringles Curse I ordered.... I plan on mixing the KS with some of my "other" vendor's juice I can't stand.
I am going to let the Menthol X steep a bit.

Yeah!!! Good for you and your daughter has fabulous taste! Prime is one of my favs!

Wow, I forgot all about that thread. To the Batcave!
I love Tribeca, Torque, and Turkish-- in that order. However, Prime 15 gives me goosebumps, it's so good. I was a big Boba's fan, but Prime has taken my number one spot.
Thats awesome! I mix Prime in so many things cuz I love it so much too. And finally did a VOODOO, Prime with a few drops of Fusion mix this morning..its actually very good. I'm going to add a few more drops of VOODOO when I get home but really enjoying it.
Sheesh.... well it looks like another flavor will be added to my next order. I am totally digging Menthol X. And, I didn't think that was possible, because most of the menthol flavors I have tried just haven't been to my liking. This coming from a Newport smoker. Now mind you, this was through various vendors before I found Halo.
I see I am going to have to also try all of Halo's other Menthol flavors as well, I could be missing something if I don't.
IMO what's special about Menthol X is when I try different voltages it gives a very different flavor. I can't say that about many other juices I have tried, even the ones I have read that do--I just haven't had that experience. At 3.3 through 3.8 each one is different for me. I did capture that cough drop taste at one setting in between the aforementioned, however, that's no problem--I'll just turn it up or down a notch.
Very nice... no make that, extremely nice.
